and one of the principal objects of the same is to provide a simple and eflicient device for quickly making cigarettes and which will permit a smoker to make his cigarettes from the kind of tobacco he desires.

Another object of the invention is to provide a cigarette maker designed to be carried by the smoker and which will be pro vided with a container for tobacco and means whereby the tobacco may be projected into a perforated tube by a blast of air blown into the tube for filling the cigarette paper, means being provided for push-ing out the completed cigarette. These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure l is a side elevation of the complete cigarette maker. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view of the same. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the inner receptacle of -the cigarette maker. of the outer member or receptacle. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the discharge rod.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a hollow outer container for to bacco, and 2 is the inner container adapted to slide within the member 1. The container 1 is, as shown more particularly in Fig. 5, of a somewhat oval contour, hollow and provided with an open end 3. The closedend 4 is provided with a mouth piece 5 and an inlet tube 6 extends from the inside of the closed end 4. WVithin the mouth piece 5 and between said mouth piece and the inlet tube 6 a series of perforations 7 are provided. The perforations 7 serve to prevent a direct blast through the tube 6. The inner receptacle 2 is open at one end, the opposite end being closed and provided with an opening 8 and a perforated tube 9 secured around Fig. 5 is a perspective View said opening. The tube 9 is of a size in diameter representing an ordinary cigarette, and the perforations 10 extend throughout the entire length and breadth of the'tube, said perforations serving to prevent a partial Vacuum between the paper and the tube and to thus prevent the paper from adhering to the tube in removing the cigarette. A discharge rod 11, shown in Fig. '6, is provided with a head 12 having a rounded end 13, this. rod being used to assist in the mak ing of cigarettes.

The operation of my invention may be briefly.v described as follows: The tobacco is placed within the container 2, and when it is desired to make a cigarette a paper is Wrapped around the tube 9 and moistened and united-at its edges. The ends of the paper are bent over the outer end of the tube and pressed in by means of the roundedend 13 of the head 12 of rod 11. By blowing into the mouth piece 5 the tobacco is blown into the tube 9. By partially removing the cigarette from the tube 9 a puff of wind through the inlet tube 6 and through the container 2 will carry suflicient tobacco" into t Then the rod l1 the tube 9 to fill the same. is inserted through the tube 6 to push the cigarette out of the tube 9, carrying with it the paper and providing a perfectly made cigarette. lVith but little practice a well made cigarette may be produced in. a Very short time on this cigarette maker.

I claim A. cigarette maker comprising a tobacco receptacle consisting of an inner and an outer member, one of said .members having a"
